Representing Injured Boat Operators, Boat Passengers, and Skiers
Our clients may include boat operators, boat passengers, water skiers, and operators of personal watercraft, such as Jet Skis and Sea-doos.

Whether you believe the water-related accident was your fault or the fault of another boater or marina owner, you are encouraged to tell your story to an experienced lawyer as soon as possible. The sooner an attorney is involved, the more complete the gathering of evidence will be. Photographs of the boat or personal watercraft and scene of the accident, interviews with eyewitnesses while memories are a fresh and detailed review of police reports and medical reports are all important elements of a compelling case for compensation from liable parties.
